With service notes provided by the recipient:

‘.... Just to mention about Afghanistan, those were the very same combats I was in when I was on patrol with the 23 SAS at a place called Miraizi just East of the 601 road near Lashkar Gah where the very first British service woman Sarah Bryant was killed by the IED I was one of the first people on the scene as they were on our mission. I battled tirelessly for 1 hour trying to get the driver who was still alive out from the vehicle but the whole vehicle (Snatch 2) was completely buckled along with the whole rear end missing. .... I suffered PTSD after this which I have not long completed my treatment for.’
